The Chorley MP said he was “beyond proud” that two of Britain’s most well-known institutions “were exports from the North”
Sir Lindsay Hoyle invited famous faces from ITV's Coronation Street and Emmerdale to celebrate continuing drama in the North.
The 65-year-old said he was “beyond proud” that two of Britain’s most well-known institutions “were exports from the North”. He said: “Coronation Street and Emmerdale are two of the best-loved, hard-hitting dramas in the UK, if not the world, and their storytelling really touches on important social issues that affect us all.
Emmerdale’s Charnock, who has played chef Marlon Dingle on the soap for 25 years, was also present at the celebrations alongside Chris Chittell, who made his first appearance in the show in 1986 as Eric Pollard. During the celebrations, Coronation Street and Emmerdale stalwarts Roache and Chittell presented Sir Lindsay with an engraved cobble from the Street and a uniquely packaged pair of Wellingtons from the Yorkshire village.
